Supporting A Home From Shana Foundation Means Supporting Your Community
LaborLiveLove provides emergency and transitional maternity care homes for expecting people who are facing housing crisis. Housing insecurity can be a stressor and present health risk during pregnancy and childbirth. Our goal for this program is to increase self sufficient independent living, affording housing, permanent housing, while improving birth outcomes for our families.
Let me be clear: EVERY mother, regardless of race or background deserves to have a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
